Large-flowering Clematis 



No other climbing plant equals in attractiveness the beautifxil large-flower- 

 ing Clematis. Their requirements are somewhat different from most other 

 plants, and proper conditions must be given to secure satisfactory results. 

 They need rich, deep soil, perfect drainage, abundance of water and most 

 important of all, they should be planted with the crowns three inches beneath 

 the surface of the soil. 



Anderson Henryi. Creamy white, large. '^ 



Duchess of Edinbtirgh. Double, pure white. 

 Jackmani. The popular rich purple variety. 

 Mme. Edouard Andre. Bright carmine. 



Price. Any of the abova, 75 cts. each; S7-50 per doz. 

 One each of the 4 sorts for $2.50. 



Evonymus 



The trailing Evonymus are particularly desirable for their dense evergreen 

 foliage and e.rtreme hardiness, some varieties on account of this taking the 

 place of the English Ivy for wall covering, others that o{ the boxwood as an 

 edging plant. 



Radicans. Deep green foliage, useful for covering low foundation walls, or 

 may be clipped the same as box-wood for an edging plant. 30 cts. each; 

 S2.50 per doz.; S18.00 per 100. 



Radicans Variegata. A beautiful small-leaved green and white varie- 

 gated form of the same habit as the type. 30 cts. each; S2.50 per doz.; 

 S18.00 per 100. 



Radicans Vegeta (Evergreen Bittersweet). A strong growing variety, with 

 larger leaves than the type, and producing bright orange-red berries, which 

 remain on the plant the greater part of the winter. As an evergreen absD- 

 lutely hardy wall cover this plant is unequalled. An enthusiastic horti- 

 cultural writer predicts that it will become as popular for this purpose here 

 as the Ivy is in England. 30 cts. each; S2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Eewensis. A variety with very small dark green foliage. Everyone who 

 has seen this appreciates its value as a rock plant or ground cover. It grows 

 close to the ground, and is one of the most valuable plants for under trees 

 where grass will not grow. 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.

 fragrant flowers, which appear in the greatest profusion in August 

 and September, followed by silvery feathery seed pods, which make

 supports, but is just as useful for planting among rock-work sloping 

 banks, covering graves, or, in fact, any position where a graceful 

 vine or trailer is desired. Strong plants, 25 cts. each; §2.50 per
